Walking Across America!!!! PLEASE PLEASE SHARE! I sure love my job. Cant wait to make it even better. We deserve better. Our patients deserve better. The only way for us to make this happen is to all come together as one. This is exactly why I'm taking this journey. Hello, my name is Brenda Copeland. I'm 50 years old, I'm from Townsend, MT and I've been in LPN now for almost 30 years. There has been a significant decline in the quality of care that our residents in long-term care facilities are receiving, and it is a growing concern. I plan to walk across America starting late March of 2020 to raise awareness for the need for change for not only residents, but also staff in our long-term care system. I have been trying for years to come up with some way that I can make a difference. I am a travel nurse and have traveled to many different facilities and feel that I have a lot of insight a lot of wisdom to share. And even more to learn. I will be walking from Ocean City, Maryland to San Francisco, California with my dog Gibson. I hope to get to see and talk with many of you along the way, in hopes that we can raise awareness for what has become a tragic situation for the people that live in long-term care facilities. After much research I have realized that this crisis encompasses all Health Care not just long-term care. The biggest crisis that we have is our patient Staffing ratios,compensation and recognition. Only we can change this, imagine a gathering of nursing staff RN LPNs CNA alike. Imagine us all together as one. We will have power numbers. WE ARE NOT REPLACEABLE!!! Let us create a union of nursing staff. of US, by US and for US. If we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem. Thank you and hope you follow my journey. And please share my story. #putthecarebackinlongtermcare #putthecarebackintohealthcare #nursesrock #walkacrossamerica #nurselife #lovemyjob #compassion #elderlylivesmatter #careforthosewhocantcareforthemsleves #loveeachother #helpingthosewhoneedusmost #wanderingnurse #wanderlust #travelnursing #holisticnursing #lovelife #itsadogslife #lovemydog #walkinthedogacrossamerica #gibsonthewanderdog #gypsylife https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vR4GmlYC0/?igshid=1p9n4rhai6gux

I am raising money to aid in travel and equipment expenses. Any left over funds will be used to supply various Long Term Care centers with extra fleece blankets for resident comfort.
